Tonight in San Diego: EFF Fundraiser/Pioneer Awards at ETech

If you're in San Diego tonight, come to the EFF Pioneer Awards fundraiser at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference. $35 gets you the good karma of contributing to the net's best freedom fighters, booze and dinner, and a chance to hear Fred von Lohmann (the guy who successfully argued the Grokster case in the 9th Circuit) debate HDNet/Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban about YouTube and Viacom.

I'm incredibly honored to be one of the three winners accepting a Pioneer tonight -- along with security guru Bruce Schneier and open/free economist Yochai Benkler.
